What makes objects alike in the human mind? Computational approaches for characterizing object similarity have largely focused on the visual forms of objects or their linguistic associations. However, intuitive notions of object similarity may depend...
Perception of social stimuli (faces and bodies) relies on "holistic" (i.e., global) mechanisms, as supported by picture-plane inversion: perceiving inverted faces/bodies is harder than perceiving their upright counterpart. Albeit neuroimaging evidenc...
Visual inputs are far from ideal in everyday situations such as in the fog where the contrasts of input stimuli are low. However, human perception remains relatively robust to contrast variations. To provide insights about the underlying mechanisms o...
The underlying mechanism of object recognition- a fundamental brain ability- has been investigated in various studies. However, balancing between the speed and accuracy of recognition is less explored. Most of the computational models of object recog...
Objects are the core meaningful elements in our visual environment. Classic theories of object vision focus upon object recognition and are elegant and simple. Some of their proposals still stand, yet the simplicity is gone. Recent evolutions in beha...
The diffractive deep neural network (DNN) can efficiently accomplish 2D object recognition based on rapid optical manipulation. Moreover, the multiple-view DNN array (MDA) possesses the obvious advantage of being able to effectively achieve 3D object...
After years of experience, humans become experts at perceiving letters. Is this visual capacity attained by learning specialized letter features, or by reusing general visual features previously learned in service of object categorization? To explore...
Forming transformation-tolerant object representations is critical to high-level primate vision. Despite its significance, many details of tolerance in the human brain remain unknown. Likewise, despite the ability of convolutional neural networks (CN...

Biological systems under a parallel and spike-based computation endow individuals with abilities to have prompt and reliable responses to different stimuli. Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have thus been developed to emulate their efficiency and to ex...
In this study we investigated whether people conceptually align when performing a language task together with a robot. In a joint picture-naming task, 24 French native speakers took turns with a robot in naming images of objects belonging to fifteen ...
